OK, so officially it's in homage to the second-placed car from 1966, but whoever is responsible has provided us with a nod towards the Gulf cars of 1968 and 1969.

Apart from the Gulf/Castrol clash, I guess we should also consider that the GT40s of '68 and '69 weren't, strictly speaking, factory entries, John Wyer having fallen out with Ford by that time.
